DEFINITION: Ethernet is the most widely-installed local area network ( LAN) technology. Specified in a standard, IEEE 802.3, Ethernet was originally developed by Xerox from an earlier specification called Alohanet (for the Palo Alto Research Center Aloha network) and then developed further by Xerox, DEC, and Intel. An Ethernet LAN typically uses coaxial cable or special grades of twisted pair wires. Ethernet

Ethernet 10/100/1000 Copper Taps, Passive or Active?
sponsored by Gigamon
WHITE PAPER:
This article presents an overview of the various Ethernet 10/100/1000 physical layer technologies for the copper medium. It discusses the pros and cons of active versus passive tapping and why active tapping is preferred for Gigabit Ethernet running over the copper medium. The switch-over behavior of active relay-based tapping is also presented.

How a Spanning Tree Works
sponsored by Global Knowledge
WHITE PAPER:
The way a switch learns Ethernet (MAC) addresses is by inspecting the Ethernet frame and recording the source MAC address in a dynamic table. The switch will also associate a learned MAC address with a port. It can then make intelligent forwarding decisions based on the destination MAC address. This white paper illustrates the process.

ETHERNET NETWORKS DEFINITION (continued): … is also used in wireless LANs. The most commonly installed Ethernet systems are called 10BASE-T and provide transmission speeds up to 10 Mbps. Devices are connected to the cable and compete for access using a Carrier Sense Multiple Access with Collision Detection (CSMA/CD ) protocol. Fast Ethernet or 100BASE-T provides transmission speeds up to 100 megabits per second and is typically used for LAN backbone systems, supporting workstations with 10BASE-T cards. Gigabit Ethernet provides an even higher level of backbone … Ethernet Networks definition sponsored by SearchNetworking.com, powered by WhatIs.com an online computer dictionary
